Hawaii is one of the places that almost always comes up in conversations about romantic travel. Hawaiian island vacations can take you to beaches, tropical forests, volcanic craters and hidden grottos. You can surf, snorkel, scuba or just relax on the sand. You’ll find a number of spas, golf courses and world class restaurants. Many Hawaiian vacation packages include an authentic luau, fine dining, airfare, hotel rooms and rental cars for one affordable price.

The first thing you must decide before looking at travel packages for your Hawaii beach vacation is which island you’d like to visit. Oahu houses the state capital of Honolulu and Waikiki Beach, which is full of soft white sand, restaurants, surfers and tourists. Lovers can snorkel at Hanauma Bay, hike up Diamond Head or swim in waterfalls at Waimea Falls State Park. The Big Island offers rare glimpses of black sand beaches, volcanic rock, Volcanoes National Park, molten lava flows and star gazing. Kauai — “The Garden Isle” — is known for its tropical vegetation, Fern Grotto cave, tourist towns like Kapaa and Lihue, white sandy beaches, kayaking on the Wailua River and hiking areas along the Na Pali trail. In Maui, you’ll see miles of pristine beaches, once-in-a-lifetime scenery along the road to Hana, coral reefs for snorkeling, humpback whale migrations (December to March), historic antiques in Lahaina and volcanic craters at Haleakala. Lanai — “Pineapple Island” — was once exclusively the Dole pineapple plantation, but has now added two resorts so you know you’ll be free from crowds and traffic. Molokai — “the Friendly Isle” — is rural and peaceful, offering horseback riding, biking, hiking and relaxation opportunities.
